Grade Details - All Questions 1. Question : An environmental group at a local college is conducting independent tests to determine the distance a particular make of automobile will travel while consuming only 1 gallon of gas. A sample of five cars is tested and a mean of 28.2 miles is obtained. Assuming that the sample standard deviation is 2.7 miles, find the 95% confidence interval for the mean distance traveled …show more content…

4. Question : A federal bank examiner is interested in estimating the mean outstanding defaulted loans balance of all defaulted loans over the last three years. A random sample of 20 defaulted loans yielded a mean of $67,918 with a standard deviation of $16,552.40. Calculate a 90% confidence interval for the mean balance of defaulted loans over the past three …show more content…
Question : Unoccupied seats on flights cause airlines to lose revenue. Suppose a large airline wants to estimate its average number of unoccupied seats per flight over the past year. 225 flight records are randomly selected and the number of unoccupied seats is noted with a sample mean of 11.6 seats and a standard deviation of 4.1 seats. How many flights should we select if we wish to estimate m to within 2 seats and be 95% confident?

6. Question : The coffee/soup machine at the local bus station is supposed to fill cups with 6 ounces of soup. Ten cups of soup are brought with results of a mean of 5.93 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.13 ounces. How large a sample of soups would we need to be 95% confident that the sample mean is within 0.03 ounces of the population
